Victorian teen's powerful letter to students after gang rape

In the months before Cassidy Trevan took her own life she knew what she wanted to do - she wanted to warn her old classmates about bullying.

The 15-year-old Victorian schoolgirl was bravely drafting a letter detailing the horrific abuse she endured at the hands of her bullies, which ended in the ringleader orchestrating her gang rape at the age of 13.

The letter was addressed to all the students at her former school, a public school in south east Melbourne which Nine.com.au has chosen not to name.

“My name is Cassidy Trevan and I was raped. If anyone tries this on you it’s worth fighting! Fight! If you don’t you’ll regret it for the rest of your life like I do. You can do it,” the letter reads.

Cassidy hoped the letter would serve as a warning to the 1500 students at the school and could spare others the same fate.

“I was a student at (name of school) and I was raped by some of the students who still attend that school. I know this already probably sounds like attention-seeking but it’s honestly far from it,” the letter begins.

“My aim is to warn other people (students mostly but also parents) about what happened because I’m worried if they could do it to me they could do it to other kids like me, or at least try to. You actually have the power to stop this from happening.”

The letter, published in full below with permission from Cassidy’s mother Linda Trevan, was never sent.

Cassidy committed suicide in December 2015.

Cassidy Trevan wanted to warn students about how far bullying could go.

Ms Trevan said her only child spent her last 22 months living in constant fear of the bully ringleader who continued to torment her even after she had her raped by two boys at a house in Springvale.

In her letter, Cassidy wrote that she wanted to set the record straight.

“I’m also doing this for myself. I want to finally, after one and a half years be left alone,” she wrote.

“I still continue to get students I’ve never met contacting me Facebook calling me a slut. I’ve moved schools, I’ve moved house and still I’m being contacted and bullied.”

As reported by Nine.com.au last week, Cassidy was never able to bring herself to make a statement to police about the gang rape, despite meeting with detectives from Victoria Police's Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigation Team more than 20 times.

No charges were ever laid over the crime.

Fearing retaliation from her bullies, Cassidy had begged her mother not to talk to the school about the harassment and the school was only notified after the rape.

In a desperate race to save her fragile daughter, who was hospitalised several times after having a mental breakdown, Ms Trevan moved to a new home three-and-a-half months after the rape.

“She was worried the main bully girl would find us where we had moved to, or send other boys to get her again. One time the power went out and she had a panic attack thinking they were coming to get her,” Ms Trevan said.

It was after moving homes that Cassidy finally found some happiness, meeting a boy Luke who she started dating.

“Cassidy had an awesome boyfriend Luke for 16 months right up to her death. He was so supportive and patient with her, he was her rock, me and him,” Ms Trevan said.

It was Luke who had been helping Cassidy write the letter, she said.

The unfinished letter, which stops at the point Cassidy was beginning to describe how she was raped, was found on her laptop.

WARNING TO ALL School name ommitted STUDENTS

I was a student at school name ommitted and I was raped by some of the students who still attend that school. I know this already probably sounds like attention-seeking but it’s honestly far from it. I have many reasons for doing this which I’ll also explain.

My aim is to warn other people (students mostly but also parents) about what happened because I’m worried if they could do it to me they could do it to other kids like me, or at least try to. You actually have the power to stop this from happening. Remember the people who did this to me were school students at omitted, it’s hard to believe, I know. But it’s true.

I’m not doing this for revenge to those students that raped me, set up the rape, bullied me about the rape, teased me about the rape or anything like that. I’m also not doing this for attention seeking like I mentioned earlier, I want to make that clear.

I’m doing this because over 1500 students years 7-12 are currently enrolled at the school and they need to be warned. I feel because of what happened to me, and because the staff at the school did nothing to help me (which I’ll talk a bit more about later). It’s now my duty to warn you all and to make you aware of what happened. (Not just what you may have heard around school but what actually happened.)

But I’m also doing this for myself. I want to finally after 1 and ½ years be left alone. It’s surprising just how many students at omitted have heard stories of me and weirdly enough still get told stories of me to this day. I still continue to get students I’ve never met contacting me Facebook calling me a slut. I’ve moved schools, I’ve moved house and still I’m being contacted and bullied. I can’t stop people from spreading rumours, but at least I could try and spread what really happened seeing as it’s still being talked about anyway. But as I said this honestly is more so for students who are unaware of this and are in danger of those students.

My name is Cassidy Trevan, and I was raped.

If anyone every tries this on you trust me it’s worth fighting! Fight! If you don’t you’ll regret it for the rest of your life like I do. You can do it.

Be careful. Be warned. Be safe.

In a statement provided by Victoria’s Department of Education and Training a spokesperson said:

"The death of any young person is an absolute tragedy and our sympathies are with Cassidy’s family."

"Schools have a range of ways to help students who may be experiencing bullying or mental health issues, including by providing qualified counsellors. School staff work hard to identify and support students who need support and we would encourage any students who need help to talk to staff at their school."
